[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
This paper presents a new application of a weighted offline evaluation to reduce this bias for collaborative filtering algorithms. ...
It thus influences the way users interact with the system and, as a consequence, bias the evaluation of the performance of a recommendation algorithm computed using historical data (via offline evaluation ...
Thus, this method seems to reduce the bias for the very simple class of constant algorithms. In the next part we apply this method to collaborative filtering algorithms. ...

Triggering on hard probes in heavy-ion collisions with CMS
2007
Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics
The study is based on measurements of the timing performance of the offline algorithms and event-size distributions using full simulations. ...
Concentrating on two physics channels, dimuons from decays of quarkonia and single jets, we evaluate a possible trigger strategy for Pb+Pb running that relies on event selection solely in the High-Level ...
All rejection of Pb+Pb collisions will be based on the outcome of HLT trigger algorithms that are identical to the corresponding offline algorithms or optimized versions of the offline algorithms. ...
